Should Josh Hamilton Have Celebrated With His Rangers' Teammates?

I appreciate Josh Hamilton. Admire him. Think he should be this year’s American League MVP.

Really I do.

But I would feel even better about him had he participated in last Saturday’s locker-room celebration in Oakland with his alcohol-drenched Rangers’ teammates.

It’s great news that yesterday Josh – who hasn’t played since fracturing three ribs on September 4 – ran full speed and took 25 swings off a tee without pain. Without him, the Rangers have zero shot in the playoffs and their fun, fruitful season will end in only an AL West banner.
